Wormholes

we use a custom built website which people enter what loot they got from ops into the site, they then place it into a certain tab in a certain hanger. once the guy who manages it enough gets enough hassle he runs the stuff to k-space to sell it. the corp taxes its tax cut then everyone gets paid out. saves constantly having to have k-space exits so people can ferry out blue loot every day.

you can always use google docs to keep track of the loot

Spoke like a true senior guy that wants to keep the little guy down. Your blade is double edged, but perhaps you did not notice. As the little/new guy risks/needs little great risk to a great man should also mean little. Using percentages [the great equalizer of tyrants] the risk of a mere battleship to one so great and awesome as yourself should be of no consequence. The way you speak of your generosity toward your underlings makes me laugh. Fair is not divided or apportioned. Fair simply is. If you need to explain or justify fair.... it is not.

For those suffering under cyphered plex points or directors that have an odd sense of fair - hit me up via eve mail. Your noctis carries equal weight to my carrier/nightmare/nightmare where we fly free and fair.

We have one person salvage all the loot, drop the loot and a bookmark with all participants name in a container which then goes into a secure tab in the CHA. Every day or two we have one of the Directors take all the loot outside and transport it off to a market hub. Once everything is safe and sound at a hub, the value is calculated in a simple google doc and everyone is paid for the sites they participated in minus 5% corp tax.

We keep adding new copies of the google doc for every op we run so anyone with the link can go online and see how much they are earning and if they really have trust issues, they can compare the amount they were paid out for to the loot history. I'm sure there are better ways, but this system works well for us and can easily covers the cost of fuel for multiple POSs each month even if we didn't mine our own ice and have our own PI program.

We do something similar to this, except to ease administration we don't "cash out" until loot is sold (generally once a week), and we track loot pool shares in a forum thread after sites are run. As a fairly laid back corp I like the system because it allows anyone to take the initiative to run sites solo or small gang and there is minimal paperwork or red tape.

For our purposes, we count shares per human at the keyboard. If you're actively contributing you get an equal share like everyone else, and ALTs improve profitabiltiy of the group as a whole.

Here is the explanatory snippet from our relevant thread. (The thread mentions "missions or combat sites", but in practice we don't really do missions anymore. If we did, we would probably have seperate loot pools for missions/w-space so the w-space loot wasn't "diluted")

Yeap

Logi as well as Salvage anyway. DPS just hits F1, but Logi helps them just press F1 lol

We have one of the corp wallet tabs set aside for our WH. All Salvage and Mining profits go in here. Tower fuel expenses come from this account and the net ISK is divvied up equally among denziens.

We also try to maintain a pretty sizable reserve of cash in that account in case we need to buy infrastructure or purchse/replace WH specific ships. Barges, Nocti, and the occasional Indy do get blapped and need replacing.

Its also worth saying, if you're having issues with people, its either because they aren't invested in your corp, or the corp isn't invested in them. It should be very easy to have good director coverage in the times things are being run. If your directors aren't the most connected, most active members of the corp, or even the ones most involved in running the sites, you have the wrong people running the corp.

Nobody wants to be in a corp where the directors are rarely on and they always make it clear that its "Their" corp. Good management is present, and connected, and if its doing its job well, people hardly notice becuase there part of the process, and feedback is immediate and automatic.

If you're having problems with people, its a people issue, and the difficulty lies either with you or them.

Not meaning to sound harsh, but good corp management can make boring things agreealbe, passive, and almost relaxing, and bad corp management can make fun things seem tedious, hostile, micromanaged and infuriating.

Example: Corp members running Gas sites and director chimes in "Where is my money biatch!!!" Bad management.

Example #2: Corp members running Gas sites, Director is on coms shooting the **** with them, harvesting the gas with them, talking about fleet comps, asking for ideas, immediately cashes out the corp members from the corp wallet as soon as the site is done. Good management.

Finally: Your corp doesn't mean your resources. There should be some pretty clear expectations as to what resources fall into the domain of the corp, and which things do not. If the corp is running sites in the corp's wormhole, then its beyond question the corp gets a cut.

If people want to run sites in your static, I think many folks will have differing opinions on if this is in the corp's domain, and if it would have the right to demand a cut. Granted if the corp is cashing out the op, then the corp should have a share (5%) but if people are just scanning down radar/mag sites in other people's wormholes, I think it might spark conflict to demand something that you effectively provided no services to earn.

Just my $1.99

My corpmates said something similar, so it was never done my way. Heh.

One way to prevent loot from being stolen is to put it in a small container, name it with the date (or what ever), then drop it in a corp hanger. Corp members need special rights to remove or open containers.
